31. Write the rations for Sin C, cos C, and tan c.
![### Question 31/36
#### Write the ratios for \(\sin C\), \(\cos C\) and \(\tan C\).
A right-angled triangle \( \triangle ABC \) is shown with:
- The length of side \( AB \) = 7
- The length of side \( BC \) = 24
- The length of the hypotenuse \( AC \) = 25
```

```
*Note: Use slash (/) to separate the numerator and denominator.*
- **\(\sin C\)** (Sine of angle \(C\)) = Opposite / Hypotenuse
- **\(\cos C\)** (Cosine of angle \(C\)) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse
- **\(\tan C\)** (Tangent of angle \(C\)) = Opposite / Adjacent
| Term | Ratio |
|-------|---------------|
| \(\sin C\) | [__________] |
| \(\cos C\) | [__________] |
| \(\tan C\) | [__________] |
#### Explanation:
1. **\(\sin C\)**: This is the ratio of the length of the side opposite angle \( C \) to the hypotenuse. Here, the opposite side to angle \( C \) is \( AB \), and the hypotenuse is \( AC \).
2. **\(\cos C\)**: This is the ratio of the length of the side adjacent to angle \( C \) to the hypotenuse. Here, the adjacent side to angle \( C \) is \( BC \), and the hypotenuse is \( AC \).
3. **\(\tan C\)**: This is the ratio of the length of the side opposite angle \( C \) to the side adjacent to angle \( C \). Here, the opposite side to angle \( C \) is \( AB \), and the adjacent side to angle \( C \) is \( BC \).
